Mordred was first mentioned in the Annales of Cambriae, where it was said that Mordred died alongside Arthur. However, it does not mention whether or not they were on the same side, or even their relationship with each other.
Notheless, Mordred was later branded as King Arthur’s treacherous nephew by Geoffrey of Monmouth. And then as his so-called “bastard son” by the French prose cyclical authors. Who were anything but faithful to their sources.
In the medieval ages, Mordred was typically seen as an unsympathetic, and a generic-power hungry villain who wanted the throne. Though, he was sometimes seen as a hero in welsh and Scottish sources.
Now, Mordred is sometimes seen as a sympathetic and a misunderstood anti-hero in a few modern retellings. Usually by demonizing King Arthur or someone else. These authors typically follow the French prose cycles, which was French Cistercian propaganda, where the “english” heroes were demonized for being “english” heroes, and where the now- demonized-French Arthur ordered the May Day massacre. But omit the part where Arthur changes his mind and the infants are miraculously saved from living in towers.

Mordred is the final boss of Arthurian legend.

Get the Morererester mug.Is when something gets made modern again, maybe by two classical musician boys, who knows? Maybe it's even made modern when they have a live stream to celebrate them getting 2 million subscribers and one of them plays a concert by Tchaikovsky and maybe, just maybe, the other brave violinist plays the entire orchestra on one violin. Maybe, on that faithful moment of time 43 thousand people, from all corners of the world, take about 54 minutes and 48 seconds off their days (or nights, if they live in Europe) to appreciate the true heroes of classical music.
